HFE logo is a creative composition of five colours, for five is an auspicious number for us in India. Our universe is composed of five natural elements; we have five sensory organs; and in our zodiac, it is the Sun who is the Lord of the fifth house. Five colours of our HFE logo are embedded with layers of meanings and messages:

Welcome to our world: Driven by planetary needs, guided by positivity and focussed on energy…We have started this initiative for the generation and distribution of renewable energies.

It is nature embracing us; breathing life and balance in everything we do, in short, it’s the environment and our endeavour for its sustainability.

Our heritage is the seed laid even before we are born. It is not just the legacy of our brand and the family but also of this beautiful planet that has given us everything that we will ever need to live our lives to the fullest. The way we shape our lives can be mapped to its origin.

The seeds in this panel are used as a metaphor for heritage since they carry the bloodline of the plant.

Change is the only constant in this world. To change, to grow and to evolve is what is imperative for any progressive being or organisation. Hard work and perseverance is the only tool with which we can achieve what we set out for for ourselves as well as our collective selves.

A river keeps flowing to its destination without stopping for a moment. Water truly symbolises progression as it moulds itself according to the terrain without loosing its ultimate direction.

Our lives spent in the pursuit of our goals brings energy and also brings hope. In generating planet positive power for progress of our beloved nation, we create optimism for a better tomorrow. What we create and for whom we create is much larger than us.

Soil is where most of the objects we see around us comes from. The minerals, sand, bricks and so on. It helps give our vision shape.

The measure of one’s success is the satisfaction one gets after a work well done. The radiance of this satisfaction and happiness is contagious. It not just propels one to further greatness but also inspires people around to find the true value of happiness and success.

The sunflower signifies the connection between an inspiration and a person inspired. The radiant glow and form of the sunflower is a source of instant joy.

The core of sustainable life is to constantly innovate. Renewable energy generation has been one of the most important breakthroughs of our lifetime for the conservation of our planet. Our passion for saving the planet is our inspiration and we hope to inspire others along the way.

The leaves signify the planet we live in and the need to preserve it to keep it healthy for our future generations.

I have always been fond of nature and respect it deeply. But the more I read and the more I know about climate change- it disturbs me greatly. I consider myself extremely fortunate to be in a position where I can follow my passion and create a viable business and have a positive impact on our planet. At HFE, it’s our endeavour to bring about a change in the energy mix of the country, by increasing the share of renewables.

Mr. Rahul MunjalChairman & Managing Director

Indian government’s commitment at COP 21 made evident that solar will become the backbone of India’s target for tackling climate change. While the government has been pushing large utilities for RPOs, in my view “Renewable Consumption Obligation - RCO” should be enforced on industrial and commercial users who contribute nearly half (40 – 45%) to the growing CO2 emissions. I firmly believe that RCO adherence should proliferate with every passing day. Industrial and commercial users should mandatorily use at least 10 % of renewables in their energy consumption mix which progressively should escalate to 50% in next ten to fifteen years’ time. Globally industries are collaborating with government to act upon the issue of climate change, India should take a lead from them.

HFE’s commitment to planet , positive, power is spearheaded by a dedicated team with extensive experience in the renewable energy sector.
